COMMUNITYMATTERS07 will pack a wide range of stimulating events and activities into three days, while still allowing participants time to connect with colleagues and explore Burlington’s beautiful city streets and surrounding landscapes. Program activities include plenary keynote speakers, panel sessions in three tracks, a day of Open Space sessions, the Innovator in Place award presentation and reception, and a community planning film festival. Additional tours and workshops will be offered before and after the conference, allowing attendees to gain in-depth experience with planning tools and other topics, or to explore projects in the Burlington area.
